Sing Me To Sleep
Could you hold me, tonight?
Could you cradle me in your arms, for a little while?
I'm all out of strength, can't stand on my own
Can I lean on you?
I'm sorry, I know it's late
And I told you I would just let you go...
But, all this silence is killing me
I had no choice, but to speak
As to not forget the sound of my voice
For I often say so little, about what is on my mind
But, I had to speak...
I don't know what I'm doing
Things are not very clear
I'm more than a little lost
So, I'm reaching for the peace, that I find in you
Counting on the comfort that I find, in your strong arms
Please, darling, won't you sing me to sleep?
Will you stay until I'm dreaming?
You know, you can stay until the morning, if you want to...
Just don't leave me, right now
I couldn't handle it, if you walked out that door
I don't want to be in this old creaky house, by myself
Hearing the wind beat at the walls
And the rest is just silence...
No, I just can't do it, lay here alone
So, please, darling, please...
Will you stay?
Will you hold me, tonight?
All I want is to fall asleep
Wrapped in your gentle embrace
